Research Institute Yunxiang Evening Stock Market Analysis:

April 9, 2026
✅Closing Summary | Consolidation with Reduced Volume After Long bullish rally
1. Market Overview
Today, the three major indices of A-shares opened lower collectively and experienced weak oscillation throughout the day, with the Shanghai Composite closing at 3966.17 points, down 0.72%. The Shenzhen Component Index briefly turned red in the morning but overall sentiment to buy was not high in the afternoon, ending with a broad decline.
In terms of volume, the combined turnover of the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets today was about 2.13 trillion yuan, approximately 300 billion yuan less than the previous trading day (2.43 trillion yuan), a decline of about 12%. The volume shrank in an orderly manner, indicating that active selling pressure was not surging.
Today's volume-contracted pullback did not touch the core support area of yesterday's bullish candle, and the orderly decrease in volume suggests that active selling is not aggressive; more buy orders are waiting for a better entry point. Before the end of April, A-shares are likely to fluctuate within a wide range.
2. Market Structural Characteristics: "Two Up, One Down" in the Three Main Lines
1. Leading Up Line: Computing Power Hardware Industry Chain (Today’s Core Highlight)
Telecommunications (+1.01%) and electronics (+0.49%) became the main sectors that defied the trend and rose today, which are also the only two sectors among the three that closed higher. The computing power hardware industry chain fully exploded, with segments such as CPO, optical fiber, PCB, optical modules, high-speed copper connections leading the gains.
The deep logic behind this sector’s rise is: on one hand, the market sentiment recovery benefited most from the previously suppressed technology growth sectors during yesterday’s "hundred-point long bullish rally"; today, funds continued this recovery trend. On the other hand, news of Google TPU orders landing further strengthened market confidence in the performance certainty of the tech industry chain, especially hardware segments directly related to AI computing power such as CPO, optical fiber, and PCB.
2. Second Main Line: Petrochemical — Unexpected Strengthening Under Cost Improvement Logic
The petrochemical sector rose 0.89% today, contrary to intuition — earlier, market tensions in the Middle East pushed up oil risk premiums, but after the US and Iran reached a ceasefire, oil prices fell sharply (WTI down over 14%). Yet, oil stocks rose instead.
The underlying logic is: for domestic refining companies dependent on imported crude oil, falling oil prices mean a direct easing of cost pressures, allowing gross profit margins to recover. Meanwhile, the medium- and long-term strategic positioning for energy supply security remains unchanged, and the sector’s high dividend attribute provides a safety cushion. During the overall volume-contraction correction period, funds prefer to flow into sectors with reasonable valuations and solid fundamentals, representing a "cost improvement + value revaluation" logic rather than simple "oil price speculation."
3. Leading Down Sector: Consumer, Media, and Non-bank Financials Under Pressure
The structural divergence: today’s market showed a pattern of "communication + electronics + petrochemicals" rising, while large consumer and non-bank financials declined, reflecting orderly chip turnover after risk aversion waned. The media, computer, and other TMT sectors that led gains yesterday experienced moderate pullbacks today. This is not a trend reversal but normal sector rotation — funds are shifting focus from the broad rally driven by sentiment recovery to sectors with more certain earnings, such as hardware segments related to AI and computing power.
3. Key Catalyst Review
1. International Factors: US-Iran Ceasefire Ignites Risk Appetite, but Uncertainty Remains
Note: The ceasefire is temporary; both US and Iran still have major disagreements on core demands, and new negotiations will start on April 10. If negotiations break down, the ceasefire could end at any time, oil prices would rebound quickly, and global risk appetite might decline again. The passage of the Strait of Hormuz will be a key indicator of the negotiation’s direction.
2. Domestic Policies and Events
State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission establishes Foreign Capital Work Bureau to strengthen foreign state asset management.
Ministry of Industry and Information Technology clarifies the direction of space computing power: planning to guide the construction and application of space computing power, accelerating industry ecosystem cultivation.
People’s Bank of China conducts 500 million yuan 7-day reverse repurchase operation at an interest rate of 1.40%, fully offsetting the maturing amount today.
Shenzhen International Semiconductor Exhibition (April 9-11) and the 3rd AI Computing Power Industry Conference opened today, themed "Computing Power Leading, Empowering Thousands of Industries," serving as event catalysts for the semiconductor and computing power sectors.
